Mother's Day

Notice CrazyMom curled up in a comfy chair with a book in one hand and a coffee mug in the other. This is what Mother's Day is all about. Unfortunately, it only lasted for about five minutes. After church, lunch, an adult soccer game and an appropriate extended recovery time for CrazyMom and I after the game, there just was not much time to sit around reading. But a few moments is better than none at all. . .

After CrazyMom's five minutes were up, we interrupted her and had our traditional gift giving event. Here are some photos (with commentary, of course).

Buddy handmade a special notepad with appropriate pages (like "To Do" and "Grocery List") as well as other craft items.

Here CrazyMom is laughing over the fill-in-the-blank answers that Little Foot put in his card. You can read them for yourself below.

Now those are interesting responses. I should clarify that when I asked Little Foot about what he meant by "Mom doesn't have something on" he said, "You know, when she does not have stuff on" as he pointed to his face. Turns out that he does not like the makeup look. Also I should clarify the "be in private with her husband" refers to when CrazyMom and I retreat to my office and kick everybody out. It is the only way we can talk to each other during the day.
